What you need to do is what we all keep doing. We keep going, have each other's backs, and forge on through the unknown. I have family and friends who want to support me but, thankfully, they don't understand what I'm going through. My psychiatrist and therapist try to help me but, while well educated, they don't have the illness so how can they understand? The only one that might have understood was my father-in-law but he "checked out" a few years ago. I saw what that did to his family. It's funny. People say it's the coward's way out but I think it takes a lot of courage and strength to do that. At the same time, I know it's also not the answer. You don't send your car to the junk yard for a flat tire and you don't write off a friend because they missed your birthday. So why do something to yourself because the answer to your problems isn't easy? When we say we can't keep going or doing this, we're speaking out of frustration and because the answer to our problems isn't easily obtainable. But we can't give up. We just have to dig deeper and find the strength to keep fighting. Take very good care of yourself too. You are important.
